TECHNICAL FIELD

The invention relates to a near-infrared light absorbing glass composition, in particular to a near-infrared light absorbing glass composition with excellent bending strength used for a near-infrared light absorbing filter applicable to the correction of chromatic sensitivity.

BACKGROUND

In recent years, the spectral sensitivity of semiconductor camera elements, such as CCD and CMOS, used for digital camera and VTR camera, has been popularized to the near-infrared field nearby 1100 nm from the visible region. Therefore, the approximately visual feeling can be enjoyed by applying a filter to absorb the light in the near-infrared field. Therefore, the demand for filters for correction of chromatic sensitivity is growing, thus resulting in higher requirements on near-infrared light absorbing glass used to manufacture such filters. In other words, such glass composition is required to have an excellent transmittance in the visible region. Moreover, owning to the application of the near-infrared light absorbing glass in the field of smart phones, higher requirements is also proposed for the bending strength of the glass. After testing, the bending strength (σ) of the glass is about 60 MPa. Thus, in case of being easily damaged or broken due to falling to the ground or knocking during use, the requirements on the glass strength by terminal products, such as a mobile phone, cannot be met well.

DETAILED DESCRIPTION

The near-infrared light absorbing glass provided by the invention is obtained through using the phosphate glass composition as the basis, and adding Cu²⁺ capable of absorbing the near-infrared light into the cation in the glass component.

The content of cation hereinafter is represented by the weight percentage of said cation in the total cations, and the content of anion hereinafter is represented by the weight percentage of said anion in the total anions.

As an elementary component of the cation in the phosphate glass composition, P⁵⁺ is an essential component for realizing absorption in the infrared region. When its content is less than 50%, the absorbing effect of the near-infrared light of the glass decreases, and the chromatic correction is liable to be poor and the color is liable to become green; when its content is more 75%, both the climate resistance and the devitrification resistance of the glass are liable to be degraded. Therefore, the content of P⁵⁺ is limited as 50-75%, preferably 55-75%, more preferably 60-70%.

As a main component of the cation in the phosphate glass composition in the present invention, Al³⁺ can improve the bending strength of the phosphate glass and the climate resistance of the glass. When the content of Al³⁺ is less than 5%, the preceding effects are unavailable; however, if the content of Al³⁺ exceeds 30%, the glass will be refractory, and the near-infrared light absorption property will be weakened. Thus, the content of Al³⁺ is 5-30%, preferably 10-30%, more preferably 12-25%.

Copper in the glass provided by the present invention is a key indicator of the near-infrared light absorption property, which exists in the form of Cu²⁺ in the glass. When the content of Cu²⁺ is less than 0.1%, the near-infrared light absorbing filter cannot fully realize the required near-infrared light absorption effect; however, if the content exceeds 15%, both the devitrification resistance and the glass forming property will be weakened. Thus, the content of Cu²⁺ is 0.1-15%, preferably 0.5-12%, more preferably 0.5-10%.

Through adjusting the ratio of the total amount of Cu²⁺, P⁵⁺ and Al³⁺ in the glass composition in the present invention, the needed near-infrared light absorption spectral property of the glass in the present invention is obtained, which means to adjust the ratio range of Cu²⁺/(P⁵⁺+Al³⁺) into 0.01-0.15, preferably 0.01-0.1, more preferably 0.02-0.08.

The present invention introduces appropriate amount of B³⁺ which can reduce the melting temperature of the glass. When the content of B³⁺ exceeds 15%, the absorption property of the near-infrared light will be weakened. Thus, the content of B³⁺ is 0-15%, preferably 2-10%, more preferably 3-8%.

Through the experiment, the inventor finds that, the preferable mixed melting of Al³⁺ and B³⁺ will have better effect for the bending strength and climate resistance of the glass. The combined content of Al³⁺ and B³⁺ in the present invention is preferably 5-45%, more preferably 12-35%, and best preferably 20-30%.

At least one alkali metal R1⁺ is contained in the present invention to flux when glass is molten so as to improve the fusibility and the glass forming property of the glass, wherein R1⁺ represents one or more of Li⁺, Na⁺ and K⁺. The appropriate introduction of R1⁺ helps the existence of Cu²⁺, but if the content of R1⁺ exceeds 10%, the bending strength of the glass will be decreased obviously. Therefore, the content of R1⁺ is more than 0 but less than 10%, preferably more than 0 and less than 8%, more preferably more than 0 and less than 6%.

The near-infrared light absorbing filter is expected to have a higher transmittance in the visible region. To improve the transmittance in the visible region, copper ions are required to be introduced in the glass in the form of Cu²⁺ rather than Cu⁺. In case that the molten glass is in a reduced status, Cu²⁺ is liable to be reduced to Cu⁺, which will result in transmittance reduction of the glass near the wavelength of 400 nm. With respect to Na⁺ and K⁺, the introduction of Li⁺ can not only be good for the climate resistance of the glass, but also help the reduction of the melting temperature of the glass and make for the glass metal keeping oxidation state, so as to keep Cu ion divalent and improve the spectral property of the glass. However, when the content of Li⁺ exceeds 10%, the climate resistance and bending strength of the glass will be weakened. Thus, the content of Li⁺ is less than 10%, preferably 0.5-8%, more preferably 1-6%.

The content of Na⁺ and K⁺ in the present invention is respectively 0-5%, and if the content of Na⁺ or K⁺ exceeds 5%, the climate resistance and processability of the glass will decrease, so the preferred content is respectively 0-3%.

R²⁺ is a component capable of effectively improving the glass forming property, devitrification resistance and workability of the glass, and R²⁺ here represents one or more of Mg²⁺, Ca²⁺, Sr²⁺ and Ba²⁺. The appropriate content of R²⁺ is introduced in the present invention to increase the alkaline content of the molten glass and make for the glass keeping oxidation state, and further to prevent reducing Cu²⁺ to Cu⁺, thus realizing excellent near-infrared light absorption property of the glass. If the content of R²⁺ exceeds 10%, both the climate resistance and the strength of the glass will be weakened. Therefore, the content of R²⁺ is 0-10%, preferably 0-6%, more preferably 0.1-5%.

Compared with Sr²⁺ and Ba²⁺, one or more of Mg²⁺ and Ca²⁺ is preferably introduced in the present invention to make better action effects of the component. The preferred content of Mg²⁺ is 0-10%, more preferably 0-6%, best preferably 0.1-5%; the preferred content of Ca²⁺ is 0-10%, more preferably 0-6%, best preferably 0.1-5%; the preferred content of Sr²⁺ is 0-8%, more preferably 0-5%, best preferably 0-3%; the preferred content of Ba²⁺ is 0-8%, more preferably 0-5%, best preferably 0-3%.

In the present invention, an appropriate content of Zn²⁺ can also be added to strengthen the melting stability and climate resistance of the glass. However, excessive addition will deteriorate the climate resistance and the bending strength of the glass. Thus, the content of Zn²⁺ in the present invention is less than 10%, preferably less than 5%. In the special mode of implementation, there is no Zn²⁺ contained in the glass in the present invention.

In the present invention, it is also considered to add appropriate cations A⁴⁺, D⁵⁺ and C³⁺, wherein A⁴⁺ represents one or more of Si⁴⁺, Ge⁴⁺ and Zr⁴⁺, D⁵⁺ represents one or more of Nb⁵⁺, Ta⁵⁺ and Gd⁵⁺, C³⁺ represents one or more of La³⁺ and Y³⁺, and the introduction of small content of A⁴⁺, D⁵⁺ and C³⁺ can be used to adjust the glass constant or the melting property, and if added, its content shall be respectively less than 8%.

The total weight of preferred cations P⁵⁺, Al³⁺, B³⁺, R1⁺, R²⁺ and Cu²⁺of this invention is over 90%, more preferably over 95%, and most preferably over 98%.

As the clarifying agent, preferably, Sb³⁺ can be added in the glass, with the content not more than 1%, and preferably not over 0.5%. Additionally, polyvalent oxide may affect the oxidation and reduction, furthering promoting the formation of Cu²⁺. However, Sb³⁺ is not included in the preferred embodiments of the glass for considering that Sb³⁺ has certain influence on the environment.

The glass provided by the present invention contains anion O²⁻. The content of O²⁻ reaches more than 97% of the total weight of anions, preferably more than 99%, more preferably 100%.

A little amount of H⁻ can also be introduced in the present invention. Here H⁻ represents one or more of F⁻, Cl⁻, Br⁻ and I⁻. As an anion of the glass composition, H⁻ if improves the climate resistance of the glass, with the content less than 3%, preferably less than 1%, more preferably 0%.
